Welcome to Bitterly Connecticut, hometown of one wistful widow with a very big secret….

She should have been off-limits. After all, Benedetta “Benny” Grady is his best friend’s widow. But in the space of a whirlwind week, Daniel Greene went from strong shoulder to lean on to Benny’s ardent lover. Now Dan is determined to make Benny his bride. He hasn’t waited this long for love to let it get away so easily. But first, Benny has a few ghosts to contend with…

When Benny finds herself pregnant with Dan’s child, telling him should be easy. After all, she’s fallen hard for the wise-cracking bachelor. But how can she love another while remaining true to her late husband’s memory? Could the past hold the key to their future happiness?

“Terri-Lynne DeFino writes my favorite kind of romance, delightfully real and straight from the heart.” —Sarah Hegger

Editorial Reviews

Review

Ms. DeFino is a remarkable storyteller. Her writing style is as beautiful as it is original. One wishes that they lived in Bitterly, Connecticut in order to know Benny and Dan, as well as a host of other secondary characters that give meat to the story. These characters have their own stories to tell and are not just included in the story as props. Readers will come to love August and Mrs. Fargus and get a glimpse of what life after death must be like. Their dialogue about the great beyond is as humorous as it is bittersweet. Ms. DeFino is definitely an author to watch!
~Ind'tale Magazine (5 stars) --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Debbie Christiana - CURIOSITIES

... widowed for six years and finds herself falling in love with her husband's best friend

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

The core story of Dreaming August by Terri-Lynne DeFino is about Benny who has been widowed for six years and finds herself falling in love with her husband's best friend, Dan. But it's so much more than the romance.

Benny's journey to reconcile her feelings for Dan and her husband, Henny, lead her to unexpected meetings and conversations with people, alive and dead, people she thought she knew, but found out otherwise, i.e., her mother, and even Dan. This book has many 'secondary' characters that pop up for a chapter or so, but make a huge impact on Benny and her issues. Everyone has a story. Everyone has had experiences good and bad, had to make choices, good and bad and Benny learns eventually, that if you "just be" and listen to those who have made an appearance in your life, lessons will be learned and you just might find the understanding you need to help in your own life.

Auggie and Harriet were two of my favorite characters - no spoilers - but with a few twists and turns, everything comes full circle.

Dreaming August is Book II in the Bitterly Series and one not to be missed.

I was a little skeptical at first about dreams from the past, but it is a marvelous read! Ms DeFino brings in feelings & emotions of loss & hurt, love & laughter, all tied together. The characters are intriguing, each one with his/her unique personality & their relationships make the book one not to be missed! You will love the focus on cultural traditions, food & family!

Loved this book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2016

DREAMING AUGUST took me on my second trip to Terri-Lynne DeFino's Bitterly, Connecticut. I hope to take many more trips to Bitterly via this author's skillfully written stories.

Benedetta Grady (Benny) has been marching in place since the sudden and accidental death of her husband Henderson Parker Fredericks (Henny). Recently, Benny connected with Henny and Benny's best friend, Dan and Benny has a secret that she can't seem to find a way to share with Dan or anyone. Benny's discovery of herself and her feelings take the reader on an enjoyable tale of the present and the past. It is discovery with a twist that kept me reading late into the night as Benny's friends August (Augie) and Harriet guide Benny on her path to happiness.

The very first paragraph of this book connected me heart, mind and soul! Ms. DeFino crafts books with heart that have the reader quickly pulling for a happy ending. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Bitterly and Savannahs Story, and many more.

I received an ARC through Net Galley for an honest review of this book.

Beautiful story! If you like romantic women's fiction, you'll love this book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016

The past mingles with the present, and the meaning of true love will you keep you turning the pages in “Dreaming August.” Ms. DeFino has woven a beautiful tale about Benny, who isn’t sure when it is acceptable to move on after losing her one true love. As Benny follows her journey, she gets some guidance from a surprise visitor to the cemetery by the name of Augie—or is it her imagination?

But the best part is, this story was not only about love. It’s about family. It’s about the ghosts that haunt us. It’s about coming to terms with the past. And it’s about where you fit into that mix.

If you like romantic women’s fiction, you’ll love this book!

I loved the plot

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016

I loved the plot. The chemistry and affection between Benny and Dan makes a fun and thoughtful read. This is the kind of book that involves both heart and mind. I don't want to give away much of the plot but I was not able to connect to August even though he was woven into the plot expertly. It was perfect read for rainy weekend.
